I do wonder if it IS Doomwatch.
I remember watching an episode or two not too long ago; quite unsettling.

There was an excellent episode with Cornish mutants that freaked me out as a kid.
And another one about a bacteria that ate cement, or plastic, or something else quite important to human infrastructure.

I'm gonna have to hunt the rest down, the ones I saw were pretty good.
One of the ones I saw, I think, was about killer rats.
